Re: [h2o-discuss] concerning the h2o list

["Diane Cabell" <dcabell@law.harvard.edu>]

We do beat to an academic pulse.  At present, students and faculty are
caught up in the frenzy of the beginning of school term.

It is my impression that faculty drop in and out of list discussions
depending on the ebb and flow of underlying events, just like anyone
else.  It is not anyone's job at Berkman to act as spokesperson for a
faculty member or support any challenge to their opinions.  We argue
violently among ourselves.

You suggestion that there should be a BCIS list owner is a good one.  I
am new this year and possibly the student who ran the list has graduated
and another must now be identified.  Thanks for calling it to my
attention.
